Now we know one of the reasons black people have such beautiful skin.
We have been sold on the chemical laden crap for so long and most of us bought into it. I did.

It's not just Africa... Sophia Loren is absolutely stunning and her 'secret' is olive oil... bottom line is natural ingredients trump chemicals anyday.

True. I tried the olive oil. It took me a week to get it out of my hair. It was a disaster.
Garlic is another one. Smell like a garbage can but it's so good for us.
I use olive oil and garlic daily when cooking.
Olive oil for my face or hair? No go, but could be good for somebody with thick unruly hair and very dry skin.

She's looking pretty rough these days.
I think she is stunning for 75. This was taken in January of this year...

We'll have to agree to disagree. I think she looks very typical of 75 in Hollywood.
Sophia has always worn a lot of eye liner/mascara. Doe-eyed. She's still beautiful, even at 75!
Her boob job is too young for her chest, though!
I think Raquel is stunning at 70! I've never had that bombshell sexy look, but I so would love to look as good as she does when I'm 70!

Okay, I'm a fan. I don't really have skin issues to worry about but it does make my hair lovely.
It's next on my 'to order' list. I can't wait to try it.

Although it dried out my skin a bit I do like it. One good thing about it, I have used it about 5 times and it has healed up a nasty cut on my finger. Last Thursday I had busted it open again and today all is healed up and most of the skin has closed back up over it. I am a slow healer so that is a real benefit.
I am not really a fan of using it on my hair, I have very fine hair and my hair lost its shine and it felt like I had about a weeks worth of product built up on it. Took three washings to get it all out
It did make it seem thicker though. I will try using it as shampoo again using the plain black soap as I have been using the one mixed with shea.

I used the kind without the shea butter. I think it stripped out every bit of buildup from my regular shampoo. It was kind of scary feeling at first, but when I dried my hair it was lovely.
Not sure I will use it every time but it will probably be good to get all the gunk out that builds up from regular shampoo.

I bought two different kinds, one that is in bar form and the other is that one lb hunk of stuff. I'll bring you some of both. I think I got six bars of soap for $8.
Crazy, I have loads of lovely smelling things and I'm digging the stuff that smells like dirt.
I still won't be giving up my lovely smelling stuff though, I will just mix it up a bit.I also have a freakin pound of raw shea butter. That will last a lifetime and then some, so I will bring you a gob of that too.

Thank you, thank you. I was reading up on it and it seems like the hunk stuff is maybe more like the original stuff but I don't know. Have you tried both and which do you like?

Was it the formed bar one in the green box? I got that also and I have yet to try that one, sure seems to smell better though. I have been using an organic biotin shampoo that I love so maybe thats why my hair seemed so different. It was drastic! When I scrunched my hair together it stayed together!
